Odd Form Factor Server Motherboard

[Jacktastic-Mofo]

I'm looking for a rack mount case for this dual LGA 1366 motherboard. I can't seem to find any info on this form factor, any info is appreciated.

Looks like Supermicro proprietary.  So basically look at the Supermicro catalogue, and buy accordingly.  Note that power consumption on Xeons that old is most likely quite awful for a 24/7 server setting.

Actually they have some really good six core twelve thread low power consumption CPU's.

Yeah, it looks simlar to a blade. Although the power connector would be on the back, so I guess not?!

 

Plus, it has IO

I have seen these before. It's usually a 1u or 2u case that two of these boards are installed in. Redundand power supplies power both boards. There is no board hot swap, which is why it is missing an end connector.

Thanks, everyone I've just decided to go with a more expensive E-ATX board to save myself some headaches.
